Your First Stick

[alliaphagist]

I'm very new to cigars. My first "cigar" was a Black n Mild "wine" flavored. It was...weird. There didn't seem to be any flavor but the really artificial "wine" smell was sickening. This was about a month ago.

After a couple more gas-station cigars, I decided to buy the mild-medium taster pack at CI. My first real cigar was a Rocky Patel Connecticut. Unfortunately, I was still trying to figure out exactly how to smoke a cigar, and I didn't get much of anything out of it. This was only about a week ago, and I was sitting outside on a bench, when two friends came over. We were talking for a while, and I realized my cigar had gone out. Once they left, it got really cold, so I decided to abandon my smoking for the night, and try to relight another time, because I had only smoked an inch. Unfortunately, the next day the whole stick smelled like stale smoke, so I just decided to toss it.

So great first experiences haha! I have had better experiences since then though.

Oh, and this is my first post

First cigar was a Fonseca 5-50 from a box that my buddy's dad got him for his birthday. I remember how smooth it was and how much I missed the aroma of a cigar. I didn't get into cigars seriously until about 4 to 5 years later.
